Being an Alabama resident, I have been following this trend for a few years. I do believe most of the OOS students do have some form of scholarship bringing their tuition down to at least the price of in state tuition. University of South Carolina does something very similar. Paying full OOS tuition to go to Alabama is just insane. I can’t think of a program they have that would be worth that. Many kids come for the football culture, but I still believe most of them have some sort of scholarship.
